About cumulative-incremental backups

Policies that are configured to perform a cumulative-incremental backup only backup the files that changed since the last full backup.

On Microsoft Windows systems, you can configure cumulative-incremental backups to use either the datetime stamp or the archive bit.

For datetime stamp use, cumulative-incremental backups include all files with a datetime stamp that is more recent than the last full backup.

For archive bit use, cumulative-incremental backups include all files that have their archive bit set. Archive bits are not cleared on cumulative incremental backups.

See General tab.

Only the NetBackup master server can perform incremental backups.
